Bio
Branden Espinoza
Josh is one of those rare kind of people who combine a seemingly limitless capacity to absorb an overabundance of information and then extract the precise knowledge that is valuable and applicable to a problem. I worked with Josh for several months designing a multi-hundred-million dollar project funding conduit for the 5th largest blockchain ecosystem at the time, the EOS mainnet. Josh injected himself into the conversation with credibility, he added value with capability, and he navigated vigorous debate without consensus destroying ego. In that time I saw Josh establish himself as an authority in the community. He wrote dozens of articles, produced videos, spoke on conference panels, and participated in very volatile Q&A sessions. He always maintained his poise. He build a reputation as a person who follows through with every task and commitment. I would work again with Josh ANYDAY, ANYWHERE.

Through our expertise in blockchain data and ecosystem building, we have worked to grow other teams and protocols to help empower the growth of web3. We have helped to accelerate roadmaps, validate and incubate new blockchain-based companies, and increase the depth of knowledge of those who we work with.

Design and create custom wood furniture and cabinetry for clients around Montreal. When a specific function or space needs to be filled, we can't always find that item off the shelf, and that was where FyrWud came in.
